. wouldn't understand," Rob
1 answered, evasively, and turned
Anne's attention to a canvas hop
per before whlcb they had stopped.
"Hero's where we begin. They weigh
the flsb In here, then send them
through that chute there where
they're washed and cleaned, scaled,
headed and washed again . . , let's
foo.et Neuman." He pulled at ber
arm, and Anne, smiling at the two
blgh'booted fishermen who stood
waiting to learn the total of their
catc'i. moved on.
"Sharlee was at the office when 1
drove In," Rob went on, "she invited
me up to dinner with the family"
"How did she know we were In
town?"
"Seems your father telephoned
Leo at some .inearthly hour last
night As you folks haven't a car
t
answered, "we're stopping at the ho
tel. you'll come up and see me won't
you?"
"Yes," agreed the woman. "Maybe
1 tell you soma more stories." she
added, and Anne noticed the blue
eyes were twinkling with mischief.
"Wll! you? I've never forgotten
those you used to tell. Remember the
one "
"Anne, we'll have to hurry," Rob
interposed.
"I know," she agreed. Then to
Mrs. Sorkl, "when will you come up?
Tonight, I'm going to have to go to
the Lee Farnsworths for dinner."
"Yes," nodded Tecla, "my Mllna.
she waits, t'table there, tonight."
"I'll be glad to see her, and Orvl,
how Is be? You know, Rob. her eon
Orvl was only two months older
than 1 and be used to boss me"
"Anne," Rob :augbt ber elbow In
a firm grip, "If you Intend to make
the rounds of tbe cannery and re
turn to the hotel In time to dress"
"All right" Anne Jerked away
from bis arm. "Tecla I'll be looking
for you," she said, and moved away.
As soon as tbey were out of bear
ing she turned to ber fiance, "Rob,
what on earth possesses you, today?"
she asked.
'It you mean wby didn't 1 want
you standing there getting chummy
with a cannery worker, I'll explain.
There Is such a thing as morale
among the workers and It can't be
maintained at Us Impersonal stand
ard of efficiency, If the owner's
daughter Is going to rush Irto tbe
arms of the first person she recog
nises." Anne Impulsively rushed Into' thi
waiting arms.

bore, suppose we ail drive up from
the hoted In mine?"
"All right" Anne paused, because
tbey had entered the cannery prop
er, a great silver grey room where
machinery .whirled and roared. She
watched as a huge fish went Into an
"Iron chink" to reappear sovered In
sections.'
"Will tbere be anyone there, ex
cepting us?" she asked as they
moved on.
"Just the Farleys."
Anne hoped her quick grimace of
dlstcste hadn't boon obsorved by
Rob. She turned quickly to where a
- woman In a green and grey uniform
watched a machine which doftly took
a flat piece of tin, cut It twlrlod It
Into a cylinder and passed It on.
"Here's how they're packed,"
droned Rob, in a flat uninterested
voice.
Tbey bad paused boslde another
machine which was carrying empty
cans along a groove, filling them with
matched sections of fish, and pass
ing thorn on. Tbe woman who
guarded this glanced up as they
stopped, and suddenly her serious
stolid expression changed to one of
radiant recognition.
"Nlkkl," she cried, looking at
Anne.
"You must' be mistaken." Anne
paused. Nlkkl, .he name strummed
at some dim chord of memory.
"VJ1KK1?" repeated Anne, then
' "Of course, that's what my
nurs. used to call me." She looked
at the woman a second time, then
linp'jlslvely rushed Into the waiting
arms.
"Rob." she cried, "this Is Tecla,
Tecla Sorkl, who took care of me the
first six years of my lire. It's been
ages since I've seen you, Tecla, not
since 1 was ten. What are you doing
here?"
Tocla Sorkl's face lost Its radiance
as the mild blue eyes encountered
those of Rob Crocker. "I work," she
answered stolidly. "You will slay In
Astoria for a while?" she asked.
"A couple of days at least," Anne
A NNfc stopped and turned towards
Rob Crockor, hor dark eyoa
ateady as they surveyed him.
"You snob," she said and walked
away; walked blindly away towards
the first exit she saw, and not until
she had passed through and found
tbe gale whipping her jacket about
ber, did she realise she waa on the
narrow ledge which ran along the
western side of tha cannery.
As troublod as the waters whlcb
swirled below her, she stared down
at them. What was the matter with
Rob, with hor fathor, with every
body? They all seemed to be ready
to snap at the slightest provocation.
Could it be that there was trouble
brewing botween her father and ber
flancot Luke had certainly been un
pleasantly surprised at finding Rob
In Astoria. He hadn't felt full con
fidence In Rob. or he would bave told
him his destination, and wouldn'
bava warned her to say nothing of
their Intention to visit the tlsh traps.
"Anne," Rob had wheeled through
the door and was holding her In hla
arms, "Anne dear, forgive me. I've
been upset all day. Evoryth lug's
gone wrong. First Yvonne colls me
and tolls me you've loft town on
some mysterious trip, then 1 roach
the ftllce and with work piled sky
high comes the call from here tell
ing of trouble among the fishermen.
"No trace of your fathor, and noth
ing to do but jump into the car and
raca down here, and you know that
road. I reach here Just In time to see
you try to drown yoursolt "
"I know, Rob," Anne agreed gon
erously, "I know because I've folt
the same way, alt day long. Suppose
you take me to the hotel, now. and
we'll finish this tour tomorrow."
At the hotel, Anne found her
mother still distrait from the ex
perience of the afternoon. "I lived
a thousand years before that young
man grasped the coble and swung
out to save you" she declared. "Did
Rob thank him?"

PAROLE SYSTEM
SALEM, Oct. 33. (AP) Tha con
dition of the Oregon parole system
was deplored here today by Gover
nor Martin, who declared the whole
set-up was wrong and should be revamped.
The governor said he had been
compelled to revoke nine paroles In
the last 10 days, each case that of a
paroled person who had committed
a crime since his release from the
j state penitentiary, and aUo that he
had been advised, that other paroles,
granted by circuit Judges at the
time of passing sentence, had been
violated.
The governor set out as his pur
pose "to make a thorough study of
the existing parole system and pre
sent some new legislation at the
rpRular 1037 leelalative session. If It
j were not for the capltol construction
1 progrsm," he declared, "I would have
asked for this legislation at the pres
ent special session."

Arsenic and many of Its compounds because of their poison eating, and
are extremely poisonous the white.
flour-like oxide or arsenic la used
frequently in poison murders. Me
tallic arsenic Is perhaps harm 1pm, but
taken Internally It becomes an
oxide with poisonous results;
Strange aa It seems, however, there
Is a large group of peasants In the
Austrian province of Styrla who
habitually eat enough poisonous ar
senic every day to kill ten men and
not only that, this lethal substance
seems to give them health and fair
ness never possessed by those who
do not form the habit. The men
claim greater strength and hardiness
the women attribute their beauty
to It. The results seem almost to
prove the contention for the mtjn
are tall and strong, and the women
are noted for their beauty. Deprived
of their arsenic they soon lose their
vigor and strength.
Some medical authorities believe
that these peasanta acquire an Im
munity to the harmful effects of
arsenic through an antitoxin which
ts developed within them. Arsenic
has Its place In medicine, and Is
widely used In treatment of anemia,
some forms of dyspepsia, certain
sktn diseases and other diseases.
Potsontng from it, however, may re
sult from Its handling In the man
ufacture of products containing arsenic.
8fmon Newcomb, one of America's
most noted astronomers, discovered
that the moon seemed to be lagging
behind its scheduled course. For
years he searched lunar records, delv
ing Into records of the past, until,
in 1883, he discovered an error that
had been made In calculations In
1675. This error had tnrown off all
lunar predictions for more than two
centuries.
